Our country depends on a fair legal system that protects people who
have been harmed without encouraging junk lawsuits that undermine
confidence in our courts while hurting our economy, costing jobs, and
threatening small businesses. The class action bill is a strong step
forward in our efforts to reform the litigation system and keep America
the best place in the world to do business. I applaud the strong
bipartisan majority in the Senate for passing this bill, and I call on
the House to act promptly so that I can sign it into law. # # #
